“These little tiny tributaries all over, when the rain starts, they turn into raging monsters,” said Michael Galli, the dean of students at Rivendell Academy in Orford, who was photographing storm damage Wednesday.

Orford's Scott Gagnon was broadcasting on Facebook Live from his front lawn Saturday night, during the torrential storm that spawned the destructive flooding.

“The road’s getting cray-cray,” Gagnon marveled during the live broadcast, looking at water racing across his lawn and the road.
